Power distribution system converts 480-volts AC

Power distribution system converts 480-volts AC Larson Electronics, an industrial lighting company, recently released a new portable power distribution system that converts 480-volts AC single-phase electrical current to 120- and 240-volts AC. The MGL-25-480.3P-1X480.50A-4X120.20A-2X240.50A temporary power distribution system provides a safe and reliable way for operators in industrial settings to tap into and use power sources independently of the work area. This system lets operators safely tap into and distribute 480-volts AC power from a variety of sources including generators and direct-grid power. The transformer is designed to operate with 480 volts, three phases, which is then stepped down to 240- and 120-volts AC. Ten feet of Soow line-in cable is included to connect the substation to a primary 480-volt power supply. On the primary side, a 125-amp main breaker provides protection for the 25KVA 480 to 120/240-volt single-phase transformer. On the secondary side, a 100- amp main breaker 120/240-volt panel provides protection for four 20-amp 120-volt 5-20R GFCI outlets and two 50A 240-volt outlets. A single 50-amp receptacle is also configured on this unit so operators can run a piece of 480-volt equipment. The transformer and distribution assembly is mounted to a standard steel dolly cart-style frame resulting in an extremely stable, durable and mobile power distribution platform. Two rubber tires and a cart style-mounting platform provide easier substation mobility, and a center point lift eye allows easy lifting with cable or chain hooks. This power distribution system is NEMA 3R rated and ideal for many indoor and outdoor applications. ? (800) 369-6671 à www.larsonelectronics.com
